We're so close!

How awesome is this - we need EXACTLY 108 more downloads to hit 10,000 downloads for the month of September! Unfortunately this is the last day of the month! So tell a friend, tell anyone! Help us reach our goal!

Don't mistake rebuttal for support

Its a famous, iconic line from the show - "Don't mistake coincidence for fate." But do we all interpret it the same way? Clearly not. We discussed it in the episode, and now we want to hear your thoughts! Amanda thinks that Eko is on the side of coincidence, and Locke is still a firm believer in faith. Josh thinks that Locke has shifted gears to thinking of the more rational coincidence, and the priest in Eko makes him a strong believer in fate.

What do YOU think?

The Great Claire Debate

So, by now you've surely noticed that both Josh and I aren't the biggest Claire fans of all time, so if you're a Claire fan, THIS is your chance to stick up for your favorite Lostie. We want you to make us love her - whether its by citing memorable scenes, or just reminding us how darn cute she is sometimes! I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!

New Episode!

Here it is, the much anticipated 23rd Kate! We experienced some technical difficulties in this episode, but we also had some GREAT discussions that we hope the listeners will get involved with. Just so everyone knows, when you hear "Namaste! .....byyyyyye," the episode is honest-to-goodness over...don't listen to the last ten minutes of nothing x.x

The 23rd Kate

Also, be sure to check out both of the posts above (as promised!) to get in on our discussions from this episode!

Heroes is a Lost Flashfoward!!

If you saw the Heroes season 2 premiere you saw something very important. Apparently, after getting off the island Jack changes his name, learns he can fly, runs for congress, wins in an unethical manner, and then gives up everything to save the World from his exploding brother. What we saw in Through the Looking Glass clearly takes place after these events, but perhaps before the events seen in the Heroes season 2 premiere.

Very interesting. And more to come, I'm surprised Lost producers allowed this kind of a spoiler to be given out.

Happy Birthday, Lost!

Thats right! Everyone's favorite show turns three years old at 8/7 central this evening! =D I'd like to take this opportunity to start a YKYWTMLW....Leave your best ones in the comments. And don't forget, its even more fun if its something that you actually do, but you can post any ideas OR go way out there into "scary obsessive behavior"....I'm sure someone out there actually exhibits it! I'll update the list periodically with everyone else's suggestions. I'll put an asterisk next to the ones that apply to me, so you can let me know if you exhibit any of MY obsessive behaviors!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOST!!!!

Three years ago today(September 22) a strange new show aired on ABC. No one knew it then, but in time that show would become a force on network TV, and be obsessively followed by fans. FANS LIKE US!!

Here's Josh's Top 6 Things to do to celebrate the birthday of Lost.

4)Speak using only Lost episode titles. For example, "The Hunting Party Abandoned Everyman for Himself"

8)Annoyingly point out sightings of the numbers to anyone you see. "Look!! 42nd Street!! 42!!!"

15)Jump into the closest body of water with your jeans on, and your shirt off.

16)Watch every single Lost episode back to back. Since there are far more episodes that there are hours in the day, watch them on fast forward. Trust me, crazy Jack looks hilarious on fast forward. When you're done with that, listen to The Lost Flashbacks Podcast, and Email us at lostflashbacks@gmail.com

23)Give clever Sawyerish nicknames to everyone you speak to. Remember, they must be funny, and offensive.

42)Quote your favorite Lost character when appropriate. For example, if it's Locke, say, "Don't tell me what I can't do ever!!"

Don't forget to look below this post, and Download Episode 16 of the Lost Flashbacks. Count the amount of times I call Goodwin, "Ethan", it will make you question my sanity.
